(Radio.com) Queens Of The Stone Age are preparing for the release of their new album Villains, and the band has released a high-energy teaser clip for the effort. In the minute-long clip, band members rock out to a new track with manic, dance-able energy. Josh Homme's delivery of "desperation can lead to madness" evokes Gang of Four's 1979 track "Natural's Not in It."
'There are some slower moments but I like to dance, man, and whether it's Eagles [Of Death Metal] or Queens or [Them Crooked] Vultures there's no reason not to conjoin rock'n'roll and dance and hallelujah and darkness and all that in one thing," Homme told NME. "In a world of desperately going for 'likes' I think Villains is more like, 'We'll take the dislikes, we'll take all the outcasts.' This album is here to do bad guy stuff."
He added: 'Queens has always been like an ice-cream parlor or a video arcade, it's safe from the bullsh*t of the day. I'm not interested in being topical in that way, yet at the same time it's completely about now." Watch the teaser for Villains here.
